CIA Admits to Hacking Senate Computers

In a sharp and sudden reversal, the CIA is acknowledging it improperly tapped into the computers of Senate staffers who were reviewing the
intelligence agency’s Bush-era torture practices.

July 31, 2014 The Central Intelligence Agency improperly and covertly hacked into computers used by Senate staffers to investigate the spy agency's
Bush-era interrogation practices, according to an internal investigation.

CIA Director John Brennan has determined that employees "acted in a manner inconsistent with the common understanding" brokered between the CIA and
its Senate overseers, according to agency spokesman Dean Boyd.

We're sorry for our intrusion into your personal computers. Based on our careful examination of the data, we can see why you would be so upset.
Please rest assured we will do everything within our power to ensure we are never discovered monitoring your private information again.

The CIA and the NSA should be put on public trial for their blatant abuse of the constitutional rights of American citizens. They have spied on
public and governmental figures in the past and they continue to do it with absolutely no accountability and oversight. It's time they clean house
and be scrutinized for the illegal activities that are always kept secret from the public. Shame on them and the people who work for these agencies
who have known about the illegal spying and activities that are a direct attack on our civil liberties.

Anybody making a move for the door yet? Is if Friday Yet?
School may soon be out forever Randy.. it's been a cross-
section dude. I don't think we'll have to disband anything
at all with these twits shaking hands in DC after the taint's
on. "Hi I'd like you to meet Mr Blood Squirting Out the Eyes."

[Edited at this point to avoid thread drift--- sorry MODS]

But in the meantime Thanks DC Guys and Gals for everything
including gridlock, poverty and possible pandemic.
When you people kiss and make up, please do it back on recess.
You'll scare the kids otherwise....

I'm just amazed at the genius of being busted so many times.
That even a timeless old standby response of, "Deny everything "
even to the grave, becomes nonexistent, left for dead whereby
" Oh Sorry!" suddenly becomes just as appropriate. Like the old act
Deny Everything worked in the past, when they were a little more
under the radar. But with things so far out of the bag as they are today?

I'm telling you all this right now. If our government, the true government, the people that swore an oath to the Constitution and somewhat meant it
still had control, this could not happen and if and when it did, people would go to jail.

The fact that this can happen and the government is powerless to stop it, powerless to even stop it happening to them is a blatant sign of usurpation.
Our government has been taken over. There are still some decent people left but they have no power, they are stonewalled, hushed up and brushed aside
as the tyranny rolls on.

Illegitimate, tyrannical and rogue. That is your United States federal government.

What I like best is that at first skeletons like Sen Feinstein raved about how necessary spying on the people was to security, I'd love to here her
takes on things now that its quite likely she was one of the people being monitored.

I think Kennedy had it right when he wanted to scatter the CIA to the 7 winds.

And we know where that went. Allan Dulles lives on in the current form of the CIA. It's an entity that no longer responds to or recognizes its own
government.

Yes we do...

We should not surrender because the CIA was able to pull of / assist with an assassination of a US President. If anything it should come under the
spotlight more closely than what it was.

I take exception to government entities telling the elected officials they dont have to provide them with information / facts / answers. The use of
the term National Security should never be allowed to hide information from our government.

This news hit me this morning as I was looking at the morning news while drinking my coffee

The thing that bothers and angers me the most, is, that for some reason we have gotten in our nation a government that has lost control of his
agencies.

I mean, from Starting from the NSA to the CIA and soon even the FBI, this agencies that their higher ups are selected by the President, seem to
be working without congress oversight and doing whatever they have out of their arses to do.

When a nation that its congress and president is elected by the people for the people have agencies that are working independent of the people
elected officials is a nation that corruption, distrust and oversight has broken apart

If the government that we elected is no controlling its own people then we have a government that is not working anymore

How in the hell we have allowed for this to happen, this government agencies are working on their own personal and privately interest, we
are all the enemy of the power that they have acquired over the years of oversight

People doesn't get it, this agencies have not elected members by the people, this agencies are becoming rogue agencies dangerous to the
people and our nation, they are now considered a danger to democracy.

Incredible, that the shadow government has become soo powerful because we the people do not care.

I take exception to government entities telling the elected officials they dont have to provide them with information / facts / answers. The use of
the term National Security should never be allowed to hide information from our government.

And that my friend is the perfect example of what I am trying to say, we have agencies that have becoming more powerful than the people that we
elect.

We as a nation should be asking why, this rogue agencies are allowed to even exist with so much power over the government that we elect
